Recent Israeli actions and massacres

[Undertoad]

I feel like I should clarify where I stand on all of this... I do believe that Sharon is a dichead and war criminal. I do believe that the visit to the Temple Mount was intended to incite. (I also believe that, when someone is trying to incite you, becoming incited is really, really dumb. I don't believe that a visit to a piece of land should incite anyone to anything.)

I believe that there is not one speck of sense amongst the leadership of either side, and that whomever wrote the rules of engagement of the current invasion is an idiot and is also possibly a war criminal.

I believe that I do not have adequate understanding of the current situation to definitely claim anything. Individual facts come at me and I react with what I think makes sense.

I believe that the real reason for the clashes is racist and cultural. I believe there is racism on both sides. I believe the only reason the Palestinians find occupation demeaning now is because they are offended by the religion and race of the forces that occupy them. I believe that religion and race are not reasons to be offended.
